KgalemaMotlanthe 'Each party has to therefore ensure that it nominates and puts on its lists people who will inspire confidence.'
Answering questions from the media during a visit to the ANC's pavillion at the Rand Show on Friday, he said - without mentioning the ANC - that a party's parliamentary list does not have to live up to the expectations of South Africa's citizens.
But he also issued a subtle warning to the party which drew widescale criticism for including party members implicated in state capture on its national list. Asked about comments he made in a BBC interview two years ago, in which he said the ANC would have to lose an election to renew itself, Motlanthe explained this was taken out of context.
